Han Dada'er and this child named Pei Run looked at each other, and suddenly their hearts were shocked, this child's eyes were really like an old man who had experienced vicissitudes for a long time, calm and practiced, with a sense of life. But for a moment, the child's eyes were slightly in a trance, as if they were slightly different from just now, but it was only for a moment, and he regained that sense of old and seriousness.

Han Da'er, standing behind Meng Huaizhi, asked in a low voice:

"Is this kid's eyes the same as when Old Man Meng was alive?"

Meng Huaizhi didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Han Daring thought to herself, the most powerful disguise can only last for a while, even if even the eyes can be imitated vividly, but after a long time, after all, he still can't suppress his own nature, and it will change in an inadvertent moment.

The change in his eyes just now may be a clue, he thought so, and followed Meng Huaizhi into the study.

In addition to a lot of antiques and utensils, the study is basically books, calligraphy and paintings.

The furniture in the house is basically from the Ming Dynasty, and there is a desk placed in front of the door, which is a carved wide case of the Ming Dynasty, which was used as a desk painting case in ancient times. Pei Run sat on a Ming Dynasty combing chair behind the desk, in addition to that, there were four official hat chairs in the room, with several Huanghuali frames against the wall.

The whole study looks a little out of place with this mansion with a combined Chinese and Western style, but it is worthy of the name of the study, because in addition to a large number of books stacked on the table, the shelves and bright frames in the study are also full of all kinds of classics, just like a small library. It's just that many books are opened, or placed diagonally aside, making the study very messy.

Meng Huaizhi said:

"Hmm...... These two are my friends, you should know, they are my business friends, surnamed Chen, and the other is the famous detective Han Zhigang Han Inspector in Jinmen! ”

In fact, in the General Department, Han Da'er is still young in seniority, although he is a special agent of the Detective Section, but he has not been promoted to detective, Meng Huaizhi is not clear about this, but seeing his famous name, he thought that he was already the rank of detective, so he directly introduced it.

Although Han Dada'er came to Meng's house for the first time, Bai Chongwei was not, and when Meng Huaizhi introduced Bai Chongwei, he deliberately said that his surname was Chen, obviously testing this child named Pei Run.

I saw Pei Run raise his head, sigh, and say:

"Fourth! It seems that you are still suspicious, and you still want to find someone to deliberately test me......"

Pointing to Bai Chongwei, he said:

"This is obviously your classmate and friend, Bai Chongwei, the son of the Bai family!"

Then he looked at Bai Chongwei with his eyes, and continued:

"Chongwei hasn't been here for a long time, and your parents are all right!"

Bai Chongwei was noncommittal, and he didn't know what to call this child, let him call this child Uncle Meng, but he really couldn't call it, so he could only glance at Meng Huaizhi, and then smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Han Daring listened to Pei Run's accent, which did have a bit of Hebei accent, but there was no slightest Hunan accent.

At this time, Pei Run looked at Han Da'er and said with a smile:

"Detective Jinmen, I have admired my name for a long time! I didn't have the opportunity to meet before, but I didn't expect that I ...... like this now."

As he spoke, he spread his hands, glanced at himself slightly, and continued:

“…… I have the fate to meet Your Excellency! ”

As he spoke, he sighed again and let out two wry smiles.

"How dare you! Old Man Meng went and returned, this is a good thing, I am just interested in anecdotes, so I took the liberty to go to the house to bother, and I hope that Old Man Meng will forgive me! ”

Although he never believed in anything strange and confusing, in order not to startle the snake, he could only continue to follow Pei Run's words.

"Hey! I know that the fourth child has doubts about my identity, so I specially found you, a detective, to see if I am pretending...... It's a guest, please sit down! ”

A few people sat down, and the next person was a small peach, and a few cups of fragrant tea were served.

Han Daring asked straight to the point:

"I believe in Old Man Meng, and I also know that I have never believed in ghosts and gods, and it is the first time I have encountered a strange thing that happened to you, so I am quite interested, can I ask you a few questions?" Of course, this is not a police interrogation, it is purely my personal curiosity! If there is something missing, I hope that Old Man Meng Haihan! ”

Pei Run nodded and said:

"It doesn't matter! Speak up! ”

He sat up straight in the chair, although it was the style of an old man, but after all, it was the body of a child, although he ordered three or four thick cushions on the chair, but after sitting up straight, he was still blocked by the table full of books and study utensils, and slapped most of his face.

Fortunately, Han Dada'er is tall and can see Pei Run's entire face, otherwise sitting on the chair, with the distance between them, ordinary people may only be able to see Pei Run's eyes, as if this is the case, it also seems that the three of them are talking to a child's head placed on the pile of books, and the scene looks very weird.

Han Daring said:

"What Old Man Meng encountered is a rare miracle in a hundred years, I don't know how many memories you have of what happened before the resurrection of the corpse? Do you remember how it got attached to this body? ”

Pei Run squinted his eyes, tilted his head slightly as if reminiscing, and said lightly:

"Suddenly it passed, I don't know it myself, after I swallowed my breath, I only felt like I was in a dream, and when I opened my eyes again, I had already arrived at this body.

People are old, and their memory is poor, but the memories of children when they were young are more profound, and then there are the recent six or seven years, I remember it relatively clearly, and some of the previous ones don't remember very well! ”

As he spoke, he talked about some of the past events of the children of the Meng family when they were young, and the things were a little trivial and complicated, basically every child said it, Pei Run said it, and Han Da'er carefully observed the micro-expressions on the child's face.

I saw Pei Run's expression, with the content of the story, there was also a slight change, sometimes sad, sometimes melancholy, sometimes sweet and warm, when it came to a few children who were punished for getting into trouble, and when the eldest son protected his younger brothers and sisters, he was very relieved. There is also a younger son who is playful and naughty and often gets into trouble, but he blindly plays tricks afterwards, and when he talks about this, his expression is a little crying and laughing.

He looked out the window, as if he was immersed in the memories of the past, and it didn't look like he was reciting someone else's experience, but as if he was his own personal experience, which was very sincere.

Meng Huaizhi listened to these stories on the side, his eyes couldn't help but turn red and burst into tears, and his eyes also looked at the void, as if he was immersed in the memories of those old days.

At this time, Han Daring can see without asking, what Pei Run told is indeed the memories of Old Man Meng and his family during his lifetime. That's why Meng Huaizhi empathizes with him so much.

Han Dada'er asked some more about several children in recent years, especially her views on her deceased daughter-in-law and two aunts. The old man talked about his daughter-in-law and eldest aunt, but he had a good evaluation, probably because of his status as a literati, so he especially appreciated his eldest aunt Zheng Wenqing. It's just that I don't like the current second aunt Ni Zhongkun in my heart.

Pei Run's answer was basically watertight, and Han Dada'er asked Meng Huaizhi with his eyes every time whether Pei Run's answer was the same as that of Old Man Meng before his death, but the answer he got was yes.

In this way, he felt a little tricky to shout and beat Daring, but he just didn't believe that there was such a ridiculous thing as borrowing corpses to resurrect souls, and since he couldn't ask anything about his family and memories, he simply changed directions.

He knew that Mr. Meng was originally an expert in literature and history, and he was also a treasure of the history of the Ming Dynasty. Although Meng Huaizhi had already asked Pei Run with this question before, if this Pei Run was just an impostor, the knowledge he had learned was limited after all.

But I grew up reading foreign books, although I also have some understanding of Chinese history, but I am not proficient, especially the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, I don't know much about it, otherwise I don't have to turn the book at every turn, or run to Yiyi Street to ask for blue half a foot. wants to use the history of the Ming Dynasty to test this child, even if he talks nonsense casually, he may not be able to distinguish the truth from the false.

At this time, he suddenly had an idea and said:

"Old Man Meng, I know that you are an expert in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and I actually have something to ask for this time!"

Pei Run may have been sitting for a long time, so he looked a little tired, reached out and stroked his back, straightened his waist. Even some movements look like a drooping old man, not at all like the movements that a child can make.

Pei Runna took a sip of tea, picked up the pipe that was placed aside, filled it with some tobacco, lit it and smoked it, and then said:

"I can't find a flaw, and I want to use the history of the Ming Dynasty to test me, hey, what do you want to ask?"

Han Daring said:

"I don't know if Old Man Meng knows the wild history and legends of the Ming Dynasty?"

Pei Run nodded and said:

"Hmmm! In order to study some unknown secret histories of the Ming Dynasty, sometimes wild histories and legends, wild histories are an indispensable reference, at least we can infer from them that the purpose of these wild histories and legends is fabricated, and the truth behind them! ”

Han Daring said:

"Then have you heard of the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror?"

Pei Runzheng lowered his head slightly, smoking his pipe in the bar, and when he heard Han Dada'er say these words, he raised his head and glanced at Han Dada'er, and said:

"Why are you asking about this?"

"Because I was involved in a case, I hope to get the guidance of Old Man Meng!"

Han Daring replied.

"Very few people mention this thing, although this thing only exists in the wild history and is not recorded in the official history, but I think this thing does exist."

Han Daring said:

"So, do you also believe that the legend of the so-called Endless Kingdom and Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror is true?"

Pei Rundao:

"I just believe that the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror really exists. It should be an artifact handed down from ancient times, as for those legends of strange powers such as immortals, ......"

Han Daring listened to his words, and didn't seem to believe in the strange legends of Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror, but then he changed his words.

I only heard Pei Run pause and continued:

"I didn't believe it...... But now ......"

"What now?"

Han Daring asked.

"Now I'm not sure...... Looking at what happened to me, it is far beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding, which also makes me doubt some of my previous judgments! ”

Han Daring said:

"Do you mean that you also believe in the legend of the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror now, and it is very likely to be true?"

Pei Rundao:

"At least some people in the Ming Dynasty believed that it was true, so much so that they would secretly collect the three ancient artifacts of the Guanqiao Xianjing.

Back then, the politician of the Ming Dynasty, Yao Guangxiao, the famous minister under Zhu Di who planned the Battle of Jingjing, once left a copy of "The Story of Escaping the Void". It is a codex that records a lot of obscure history at that time, as well as descriptions of the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror and the lost nameless ancient city.

It was recorded that when the three ancient artifacts were combined, they could find the lost ancient city of Endless Kingdom! ”

Han Dada'er also heard of this book for the first time, and he didn't expect that it also recorded the integration of three ancient artifacts, and Lan Banqi's "Jinhai Strange Chronicles" only mentioned the three ancient artifacts, and did not say that the ancient artifacts could be unified.

He asked:

"Have you ever heard of "Strange Tales of the Tsu Sea"?"

Pei Rundao:

"I've heard it, it's a strange book that circulated in the early Qing Dynasty! It does mention ancient artifacts, and Tianjin Weizhen objects, as well as some legends of Yuanqiao fairy mirrors, but not many people have seen it, and this book has very few surviving in the world, and it is rare to see it now! ”

Han Daring didn't expect that "Jinhai Strange Chronicles" was just a copy, it seems that either Lan Banqi originally knew that these contents were from a book, or he had only seen a remnant of the book, so he mistakenly thought it was a wild history.

He asked:

"As far as you can see, is the contents of that codex credible?"

Pei Rundao:

"The Codex should be real, and I only saw it by chance a long time ago, but the endless kingdom recorded in it is indeed a real country in history! It's just not in Tianjin Wei, but in Jizhou! ”
